DEANO
THE CLOWN
Birthday
Party Description
For a very full two-hour party, Deano arrives on a unicycle and starts off by memorizing everyone's names; knowing who everyone is makes the party much more personal. Everyone sits to watch a half-hour to forty-five minute long show, during which Deano looks through all his pockets full of silly gags and gimmicks, juggles balls, rings and pins, does magic, ventriloquism, puppets, balancing, pratt falls, improvisationaltheater, music, and lots of audience participation.
After sitting, the group is ready for action. Everybody has a specialty, and Deano's is games. Deano knows over 600 non-competitive games, and has been involved in numerous "New Games" trainings. Weather usually determines whether the games are indoors or outdoors. Even on rainy days in crowded spaces Deano can keep everybody busy for hours.
After the group has exerted a good portion of energy, it is relaxing to sit and hear stories. A member of the Seattle Story Tellers Guild, Deano knows hundreds of folk tales, fairy tales, myths and legends, and has made up several stories of his own. The birthday person is always the hero of the story. Deano collects unusual stories and tells new ones every time.
At last it's time for presents. Deano makes sure everyone can see, everyone gets thanked, the place is kept clean, and he keeps a record of all the gifts. When it's time to eat, Deano helps get everything organized, and while everyone is busy eating, Deano is busy telling jokes and being silly. For small groups (up to 6 guests) he twists balloons during the eating. His large repertoire of symmetrical and creative sculptures invariably receive compliments. Each person gets something unique, and if time permits, the birthday person receives a big fancy sculpture as well.
When it's time to leave Deano has a problem: he can't leave. This is everyone's favorite part. Deano is so clumsy that he crashes his unicycle into the trees, the bushes, the walls and the garbage can. Since that doesn't work, he tries leaving on his 6' high unicycle. Then all the children get to ride the little one, with Deano's help, and the birthday person, if willing, gets a special ride on the big one. Then Deano gives everyone a hug goodbye and crashes his way off into the sunset.
For normal to large groups Deano saves twisting balloons
until the very end, after the unicycle, so that the children can then go
straight home without popping their balloons. Balloons generally
add an extra half hour to the party. Figure a couple minutes per
balloon times how many children are present. Count on a two-and-a-half
to three-hour party for everyone to get balloons. If you have over
eight or ten children and you want balloons, plan on a two-and-a-half-hour
party of Seattle Clown Entertainment.
In addition, for longer parties Deano brings his
6'-high
unicycle. After falling off of it in his attempts to get on it,
he juggles on it, rides it backwards, tries to beat everyone in a race,
and falls off again. Then Deano gives the birthday person a special ride
on the tall unicycle. If time allows, he also gives everyone a ride
on the small unicycle, then gives everyone a hug good-bye and rides off,
crashing into things as he goes.
